Stratford Hall Reviews

Founded in the late 1990s by two Burnaby parents, Elaine Lee and Cindy Leung, Stratford Hall began as a university preparatory school with 40 students. In 2003, it became the first school in Western Canada authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme and was later accredited for the IB Diploma and Middle Years Programmes, making it one of the few schools in Canada to offer the IB Continuum Programme. Located in East Vancouver, Stratford Hall benefits from the cultural richness of its surroundings. In addition to academic excellence, Stratford Hall offers comprehensive programs in music, visual arts, and theatre across all IB levels. The school also has a strong athletic program, known as the Sabres, which helps with student participation, skill development, and instilling values like sportsmanship and respect. The outdoor education program gives students regular opportunities to engage with nature, developing the mindset of environmental stewardship and resilience. With dedicated staff and a supportive community, the school provides an engaging environment for students to develop as thinkers, doers, and lifelong learners, preparing them to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
